1. A method for bypass alert, the method comprises:
obtaining sensed information about an environment of a vehicle, by one or more vehicle sensors associated with the vehicle; wherein the environment of the vehicle comprises a passing lane, a lane separator, and a current lane in which the vehicle is positioned; wherein a driving direction of the passing lane is in an opposite direction to a driving direction of the current lane; wherein the lane separator separates the passing lane from the current lane;
determining whether a driver of the vehicle initiates a bypass of another vehicle, wherein the determining is made by a first machine learning process, and is based on detecting a movement of the vehicle in relation to the lane separator, wherein the driver of the vehicle is a human driver;
determining that the vehicle entered the passing lane;
determining a situation based on a signature of the sensed information;
determining, by a second machine learning process and in response to the situation, a time to collision for the vehicle with respect to an incoming vehicle identified driving at the passing lane towards the vehicle;
determining, based on, at least in part, the determined time to collision and further in accordance with an allowable time to collision, a safety parameter for the vehicle with respect to a completion of the bypass; and
responding to the determined time to collision by switching from a human driver control over the vehicle to an autonomous driving of the vehicle based on the determined safety parameter;
wherein the signature is generated by an iterative signature generation process that comprises first iterations and second iterations, the first iterations are executed using a third neural network and the second iterations are executed without using the third neural network.
